LEARNING TARGETS
The learner will gain a comprehensive understanding of:Close Reading
The learner will identify:• The purpose for Close Reading
• Different Close Reading strategies to use with students in their classroom
CLOSE READING VS CLOZE READING
What’s the difference?
• Close Reading – an end conclusion; careful, sustained interpretation of a text in order to develop a deep understanding
• Cloze Reading – activity in which words are omitted from a passage and students are required to fill in the blanks
Common Literacy Toolkit
Addition!!
An extensive body of research links the CLOSE READING of complex text—whether the student is a struggling reader or advanced—to significant gains in reading proficiency and finds close reading to be a key component of college and career readiness.

REVISIT TEXT
Re-read text
Refer to your close reading strategy notes & be prepared to share if any of these assisted you in making meaning
As you re-read, annotate your text in the margins – “think aloud” making notes of the author’s intended meaning of each section
When you are finished, write an overall main idea of this selection
MAKE THE TEXT WHOLE LEARNER RELEVANT
